On Point!

In Bud Adams' case... life IS too short...

This sounds really familiar (we aren't going to reward him)....oh yeah the bungles- and we see where that got them! Now they have a rookie QB that is getting killed and they have lost half of their offensive weapons- with nothing to show for Carson Palmer, who is just waiting on them to get close to the cap so he can show up and force them to do something.

Bud Adams will be flippin' off fans in no time once again. Of course, this time, just like last the fan will be right on when saying, "The Titans Stink"!!

Adams SHOULD reward Johnson's behavior ... either by cutting him or benching him without pay for the year.

"the way he is acting". A extremely paternalistic comment by Adams. He might as well call Johnson "uppity"

Bud Adams is a crochety old miser.

Wouldn't be surprised if the term "uppity" crossed his mind...

Oiler's fans will remember just how much of a scrooge this guy is....

Yup... They have seen this movie before.


Ending will be the same too.

Johnson is not helping himself. Adams is no genius either... but the days of RBs getting huge $$ are long gone. Johnson is clearly underpaid, but RBs have such a short shelf-life, that he has to get more realistic in his demands. Fitzgerald made his cash because he is a WR, with a much longer career line. RBs usually have a steady decline after 4-5 years. It all comes dwon to the signing bonus and guaranteed $$ up front. Most teams are running by committee these days, and using lesser-known players to do it. You don't need a star RB to win in the NFL. Johnson should get his booty into camp, sign a front-loaded deal in the 10 million dollar range and play the game.

And there are those who say it hasn't been short enough.

Younger than Ralph, older than Al.

Has Adams been attending the: Mike Brown School of Intelligent Business Practices and Colorin' Stuff?

Or, is it the other way around?

Go ahead, Bud, alienate CJ. I'm sure he'd rather be an Eagle, anyway.

If not, maybe, he'll just decide to pull a "Barry Sanders" on you. (Do we call that a "Carson Palmer," now?)

They can suck with CJ, or suck without him. Who's gonna part with Peyton Manning money under those circumstances. I'll give you a hint: it ain't Adams.

You summed it up nicely

If your under contract, your under contract.

You've had a lot of number 2's this morning. Too many jalepenos last night?

Bud Adams said this too late. Fantasy drafts were last night. A lot of people with #1 and #2 picks are now foaming at the mouth lol.
